Trust
Watercolor by Lyn Mason, March 2007
Defined by the Artist: We enter this world as God’s perfect creation, innocent, pure and radiant. But as we grow, we learn fear and doubt, causing our radiance to hide behind many masks. We must therefore learn trust through the transformation of our minds. Trust, a knowingness that all is well, is learned through the diligent practice of living in the moment, for it is in the present that we can rediscover the absolute safety of life. Willing to be still, we reconnect with our Source, remember who we are, and experience the peace that comes from observing life breathing us. The more we practice being curious about life’s circumstances, opening our hearts to whatever is instead of resisting or reacting to it, the more we realize that Divine Order is always in play. We can see beyond appearances and unveil God’s grace even in the darkest of times. It then becomes obvious that every single experience in our lives has helped mold us into who we are today. This process of awakening to the truth that God is in every moment and all of life is for us is an essential step in becoming fully alive, joyful, radiant and living on purpose. Trust lays the foundation for our spiritual evolution to enlightenment.
